He’s talking like someone who knows his lines are about to collapse somewhere.
His economy is in ruins, he has killed or wounded nearly a million of his own countrymen, and Russia remains a pariah among nations.
It will interesting to see how he attempts to spin any semblance of “victory” in all this devastation.
And yet, Russia is "winning" in the Ukraine.
They paid too much for their victory. But they are not giving back anything they took by conquest.
There is a lesson for us if we pay attention. It is a very ancient lesson. Unrestricted, unapologetic and competent use of superior force is what wins wars. Well, that and sustained logistics.
There will always be another war somewhere. We must pick our fights more carefully and use rules of engagement that give us the advantage.
